SEOUL, June 14 (Reuters) - South Korea's consumer safety
agency said on Friday that 27 out of 88 tested products sold on
foreign e-commerce platforms AliExpress, Temu and Qoo10
including children's toys did not meet domestic safety
standards.
The world's fourth-largest e-commerce market has increased
regulatory scrutiny on foreign shopping platforms, with
Alibaba's ( BABA ) AliExpress and PDD Holdings' ( PDD ) signing
an agreement in May to promote product safety.
In May, Korea Consumer Agency began safety tests for
motorcycle helmets, children's toys, colour cosmetics and air
fresheners being sold on the three platforms.
All three platforms have currently blocked the sale of the
problematic products according to the agency's recommendation,
it said.
